Multimedia-message forwarding method and device

Abstract

The invention provides a multimedia-message forwarding method and device. The multimedia forwarding method includes: a gateway receives a compressed multimedia message sent by a terminal; the gateway analyses the multimedia message and obtains a compression type parameter which is carried by the multimedia message and used by the terminal during compression; the gateway decompresses the multimedia message according to the compression type parameter and obtains a decompressed multimedia message; and the decompressed multimedia message is sent to a multimedia-message center. According to the technical scheme, the gateway decompresses the received multimedia message and then sends the multimedia message to the multimedia-message center through a conventional method. The multimedia message which is downloaded by the multimedia-message center is sent to a terminal through a compression form and through the form, a problem of waste of network resources can be solved effectively and multimedia message uploading and downloading speeds are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication applications, in particular to a multimedia message forwarding method and device. Background technique [0002] MMS is one of the most popular means of mobile communication. With the widespread application of MMS, the average flow rate and number of users of mobile data network users have increased more than traditional voice networks. Data services gradually occupy a large amount of network resources, and traffic bottlenecks frequently occur in data core networks. At the same time, the application of network resources is also increasing. Tension; how to save network bandwidth, speed up user access, and improve user experience has become an urgent problem for major operators to solve. [0003] At present, it may sometimes take about an hour for a terminal to send or receive a 120KB MMS message, and the MMS center will often cause network congestion due to the large number of MMS resources sent at the...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, it may sometimes take about an hour for a terminal to send or receive a 120KB MMS message, and the MMS center will often cause network congestion due to the large number of MMS resources sent at the same time; Usually, the bandwidth is continuously expanded through the mobile network. Although it solves problems such as network congestion, it causes a great waste of resources.

[0004] Secondly, if the network bandwidth cannot be expanded too much, users usually use low-quality MMS in order to obtain faster communication speed of MMS in the network, because the data size of low-quality MMS is usually small, and the network transmission speed is relatively fast. But this way is to reduce the quality of MMS in exchange for speed, which obviously cannot meet the user's demand for quality and speed at the same time, and will also cause harm to the MMS service itself over time.

[0005] The above-mentioned existing technologies have not really solved the problems of saving network bandwidth, speeding up the speed of sending and receiving multimedia messages, and improving the processing of mobile data traffic; Compressed transmission can also meet the requirements of the MMS center, so as to reduce the data traffic on the wireless side, speed up user access, and save network bandwidth.
